## Event

Julia is a high-level, general-purpose dynamic programming language. Its features are well suited for numerical analysis and computational science. If you have experience programming in another language, you will find that most of your knowledge will be easily transferred to Julia. Refer to the documentation of some noteworthy differences from other popular languages: Matlab, R, Python and C/C++.

This presentation will introduce the basics of machine learning with FluxML in Julia, how it differs from other frameworks, and why it matters.

## Speaker

Kyle Daruwalla is a NeuroAI Scholar at Cold Spring Harbor Lab where he conducts research at the intersection of computing, machine learning, and neuroscience. He received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison studying non-von Neumann computing. He is currently a co-maintainer for the FluxML org.
